“I shall remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace; walking until given shelter and fasting until given food.”

Peace Pilgrim, July 18, 1908 – July 7, 1981.

And this tune …

Enjoy your day.

* The company’s energy efficient chips are used as the processors in Apple’s iPhones and iPads: and in many Android tablets and phones. There’s also a lot of digital cameras that use themª.

† I’m a huge fan of Apple productsª. But I’m very aware that, because of the way software licensing works, I own my computer … but that Apple owns the software I use to operate it. It’s the same for the Windows based PCs my family, friends and neighbours use. They own the computer: but Microsoft still owns the software‡. From what I know? The terms of Ubuntu’s license — and of other similar open source operating systems — means you own the copy on your computer.

‡ The comparison I’m told worksª? Is this. You own your car. But you’re renting the engine and steering wheel used to power and steer it. Those are still owned by the car-maker.

^ Oh, an authors meal, Olgaª! You know, I’ve got a sudden mental image of Ernest Hemingway and Dylan Thomas getting together for a quiet half-pint. Of vodka! At any rate, the staff meeting went well: bit quiet though, but there you go!

º From what I’m told, Debbiª? The game features what’s called Pokéstops: real world places where you can pick up extra in-app goodies. One such stop … ? Is the pub nearest my Mum’s place. The app, itself, is free. I think the makers are making money from in-app purchases: and from venues paying to be Pokéstops.
